Overview

The Crescent CT24HLC is a 26 inch cutter with alloy steel jaws and fiberglass and rubber handles, weighing 6 pounds. It holds a 5.0 star rating across 22 reviews, with about 100 bought in the past month.

The HLC naming and 26 inch length point to a high-leverage bolt or wire cutter rather than a small hand tool. Fiberglass handles add grip and some shock absorption compared to plain steel handles.
